Patent CA-2491648-C (CA)
Inventor: HODAC BERNARD
IPC: G01G19/03

Granted: 2016-08-16
Abstract: A bridge including a deck (1) where an extremity comprising a first support line rests on a shoulder (3) of an abutment (4) using two extremity supports (2d) and (2g). Vertical dimensional variation detectors (11d, 11g) are associated to the supports (2d, 2g). When a vehicle (6d) crosses the extremity of the deck (1), a sudden variation of the vertical dimension to which the supports (2d, 2g) are subjected, is detected when each axle (21, 22, 23, 24, 25) of the vehicle approaches the extremity of the deck. These sudden variations are analysed to produce a measurement of the weight transmitted to the ground for each of the axles. The sum of these weights supplies a measurement of the total weight of the vehicle. In the event that a predetermined limit is exceeded, alarms and/or actions are triggered. Used to ensure compliance of maximum allowed weight restrictions with simple, economical and systematic control for vehicles crossing a bridge or more generally using a specific itinerary.

Abstract: A horizontally sliding door includes a resilient retention system that helps hold a door panel tightly against its seals when the door is closed, and resiliently releases the door panel when an extemal force displaces the panel beyond its normal path of travel. If the door panel is displaced off its normal path,the resilience of the retention system or simply opening and closing the door automatically returns the panel back to normal operation. The resilient retentioln system can be installed off the floor, so the system avoids creating a tripping hazard and avoids being damaged by nearby vehicles.

Inventor: WACHSBERG RICHARD
IPC: B65D47/32

Granted: 2013-01-15
Abstract: A combination of bottle and cap. The bottle includes a narrow neck, with a hollow handle the upper end of which joins the bottle body at or adjacent to the neck, with the handle being spaced apart from the body to permit the user to easily grip the handle. The hollow interior of the handle communicates at its upper and lower end with the interior of the body, to permit a flow of air through the neck opening, via the interior of the handle, to a lower region within the interior of the container. The cap preferably fastens to the body neck via a conventional screw threading. Alternatively, the cap may be non-removable from the body, for example, with the body and cap being moulded as a single structure, although it is contemplated that in most cases the cap will be removable. The cap comprises a cap body, internally screw-threaded for mating with external threads on the bottle body, and a removable cap cover.  Preferably, the cap cover is joined to the cap body via a flexible strip which hinges the cover to the body so as to permanently join the cover to the body to prevent the user from mislaying the cover. The cover may snap-lock to the cap body so as to effectively seal the bottle. The cap includes first and second openings, for dispensing liquid and intake of air, respectively. The cap is attached to the container body so as to position the second opening generally facing the handle, while the first opening is opposed to the handle. Air tends to flow into the second opening within the cap as liquid exits the first opening, with the inflowing air tending to be channeled into the hollow handle interior with minimal interference with the outflowing liquid.
